Last Listing description (May 2018)

Desirably located in one of West Hobart s most sought after locations and occupying an elevated position that offers both a sunny northerly aspect and superb water views. This circa 1900 brick Federation property with appealing street frontage is a warm and inviting family home. Classic meets contemporary with a number of sensitive updates throughout creating modern comfort and convenience, and a tasteful neutral colour scheme complementing the many original features remaining in situ throughout the home.
The entry level is dedicated to living space, with a generously proportioned open plan living room forming the heart of the home. Comprising a combined dining/living space and the stylish kitchen with quality appliances and white joinery with extensive storage, this light-filled living area opens onto the rear deck to create seamless indoor/outdoor living overlooking the River Derwent.
A spacious lounge room with fireplace and a formal dining room (that could alternatively be used as a fourth bedroom) further extend the living space to create quiet, more intimate pockets away from the main hub of the home. A renovated bathroom and the laundry complete the floorplan on this level. The original timber staircase to the top floor reveals three double bedrooms, two with built-in wardrobe, and the second modern bathroom with bathtub.

Polished floorboards, ceiling roses, fireplaces, leadlight accents and ornate cornices enhance the ambience throughout the home and will appeal to those with an appreciation of historic houses. NBN connection, a security system incorporating CCTV cameras and a combination of gas and electric heating add amenity.
Outside, the property is surrounded by established gardens with a paved courtyard area and mature fruit trees. The well fenced rear garden also contains a conservatory with electricity connection that could be used for a range of purposes. There is also a workshop, tool shed and further outdoor storage space under the deck. Off street parking for two vehicles is provided for in the driveway.
Surrounded by other quality homes, Forest Road is popular with locals for its close proximity to the CBD and the facilities of West Hobart. Close to excellent local schools and with Pigeon Hole Caf just a short stroll away, this home is also within easy reach of the train park, Hill Street Grocer and other West Hobart cafes and restaurants. For families or the professional couple seeking a stunning solidily built home and vibrant city fringe lifestyle, there could be no better opportunity to buy into one of Hobart s most popular suburbs.
